ValueError: PosixPath('.') has an empty name

[robmarkcole]

On uploading the image I get ValueError: PosixPath('.') has an empty name

Appears to be related to ultralytics/yolov5#2246

Source: An Image created from requests.get download will not have im.filename property set, thus Path(im.filename) will fail.

Solution: Just write a dummy filename into the image's property.

I believe this is because we are creating the PIL image from bytes, so filename parameter is missing. Attempting to set it using file.filename = 'tmp.jpg' was not successful

[robmarkcole]

Resolved with hacky workaround:

  img_bytes = file.read()
  img = Image.open(io.BytesIO(img_bytes))
  img.save('/tmp/tmp.jpg')

  # Reopen
  img = Image.open('/tmp/tmp.jpg')
  results = model(img, size=640)

Created ultralytics/yolov5#2702
